England should be entering Euro 2024 as defending champions and the feared team to play with the players available to use. However, they're basically 11 defenders after getting an early goal thanks to Garef Soufgate. This English team should be ripping teams apart with their midfielders and forwards. And I'm not English.

[@Mljones6]

The irony of this is it shows why England never make pundits happy. He's saying "you HAVE" to play Rice, Bellingham, Foden. This season that means playing a box to box, and two CAMs that like to be on the ball in the pocket. Their roles clash and it leaves no defensive cover. The issue is he has to play a CDM, Rice and one of Foden and Bellingham. Southgate is saying that he thinks he doesnt have a CDM (to which you have to say ... But you brought two mate). Ultimately, we'll only play well when he drops one of them and has an actual left winger start.

[@iandickson3236]

[@TheToyShop100]

Its even worse than you suggest - England play 4-2-3-1 with a rigid back four whereas all the top Premiere League teams play 4-3-3 with inverted full backs which helps overload the midfield and keep the ball - John Stones was immense doing this for Man City in their Champions League winning year - unfortunately I doubt Gareth knows what an inverted full back is. We're coming home

[@robzombie5928]

Southgate is looking really rattled and talking waffle as well. He misses Maguire and Henderson. Southgate has always been tactically incompetent, the media are just now noticing or have been told its ok to rip on him. Gallagher runs around like a headless chicken and is a red card waiting to happen.

[@Lightexo]

Having proper wingers stretches teams. That’s why Spain and Germany have been so good. Spain especially. You get 1v1 situations a couple times and you hope one of them turns into something. Pretty much both goals for England came from wider areas of the pitch. Adjustments have to be made if not a team on par quality wise will rip this England team apart tactically in the latter stages.

Pickford kicked long 15 times in that second half and Southgate and the players didn't say a thing against it.

If only we had a half decent manager we would have won 2 WCs and a Euro already. When we get a new manager we will win everything and all this criticism and negativety will finally end.

Can’t believe Safegate is pinning his hopes on Shaw being fit

[@rossturner8581]

No plan b with Southgate he just picks what he thinks is his best team and hopes for the best! Up until now, our players have made him look a better manager than he actually is!

[@searchterminatorseed2301]

Bellingham & Rice together in the middle. Kane just ahead in no.10, Watkins ahead playing on the shoulder. Sorted. There’s no shame or big deal in having quality players on the bench, such as Foden. It’s a squad game, everyone can play their part in future games. Foden can start games later. We need to get past this obsession of having to fit every big name in at the expense of the team.

This is all because England should have a left back, and left sided midfielder comfortable playing wide. Added to this a number 6 who allows Rice to be more progressive. These are all thing England could have, but Southgate did not pick the right squad, and does not have the footballing sense to pick a balanced team from the squad we do have at the Euros.

Dunno why Walker and Trippier are guaranteed a slot. They've been dreadful. Id go with Trent for creativity and Gomez for speed. Bellingham at 8, Foden 10, Gordon ln left. if its still suspect in midfield. Marino in 8. Judd at 10. Foddn off bench. Just do skmething Gareth!

Townsend must be vying for a job at the FA.
